Hot on the heels of cutting jobs just before the weekend comes this report that a lot of big name companies might be in the market for BlackBerry:
Canadian telecommunications company BlackBerry Ltd. has once again made their ways into the news with lot of gossiping taking place about its acquisition, and this time there’s Microsoft at the other end of the story.
Sources even claim that few other tech companies like Xiaomi, Lenovo and Huawei are also amongst those interested in positively spinning their chances off with BlackBerry.
Microsoft is reportedly working with few investment firms to assess their chances of taking over BlackBerry, planning to upgrade its intensity in the business mobile solution segment and its patent portfolio in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), as well as mobile platform and communications sectors.
Sources also claim that Chinese smartphone manufacturers are mainly intended to invest in BlackBerry so that they can improve their brand visibility across US and European business sectors.
Now, this isn’t the first time that rumors of a buyout have surfaced. But I decided to run with this one as it seems a little more than ironic that these rumors have surfaced after the company turns a profit. That may be enough for one of these companies to believe that there’s something here that’s worth buying. Or it could just be another rumor with no substance.
We’ll have to wait and see.
